PWA Design Considerations

Install Experience

  • Show install prompt at a relevant moment (not immediately).
  • Explain value: "Install for offline access and faster loading."
  • Custom install banner with app icon and description.
  • Don't block content with install prompts.

Offline Support

  • Cache critical content for offline access.
  • Show what's available offline vs online-only.
  • Queue actions performed offline, sync when connected.
  • "You're offline" banner — non-intrusive, persistent until reconnected.

App-Like Behavior

  • Standalone display mode (no browser chrome).
  • Custom splash screen.
  • Theme color matching app header.
  • Push notifications (with permission prompt that explains value).
  • Smooth page transitions (no full page reloads).
